USD's Collins honored by WCC

University of San Diego pitcher Kyle Collins has been named the
West Coast Conference player of the week after a dominating the
conference's best team last weekend.

Collins, a senior right-hander, shutout Pepperdine for 6 1/3
innings during the Toreros' 2-0 victory on Saturday, helping USD
take 2 of 3 in the crucial WCC series. The victory improved
Collins' record to 4-0 in WCC play and further demonstrated his
recovery from an offseason arm injury.

As a junior, Collins led the WCC with nine victories, but he
developed soreness in his arm during the offseason, rarely pitched
and struggled to regain his form once the season began in late
January. Through two months of this season, Collins was winless
with an ERA of more than 5.00.
